Coming soon...

Welcome

Most of the main pages are now up and running. There'll be regular updates
to Sor Juana's poetry page and to the excerpts collection.

But there are still one or two secondary pages to come in over the next
few days...

General guides for reading groups and book clubs.

Academic study guides.

Images

of San Miguel de Nepantla.

Video clips & multimedia

Spanish-language video interviews with leading Mexican artists and
academics talking about Sor Juana.

Sounds

Audio samplers of music by Ofelia Medina and Ars Nova.

For
Specialists

Overall, the plan here is to identify (and, where possible, make available
online) those elements of Hunger's Brides that:

build on discrete items of scholarship (the work of Mario Lavista,
for example, on Sor Juana and music)

synthesize and dramatize broader questions (for instance, the circumstances
surrounding the publication of the Carta Atenagórica)

bring in research not necessarily connected to Sor Juana, but pertinent
in some sense or other (Kathleen Myers on Sor María de San José,
Sor Juana's contemporary in Puebla, for example, or on the trials and
persecutions of the beatas)

develop speculative connections (such as a speculative link connecting
the Apelles of the Carta de Sor Philotea to the Jesuit scientist Scheiner,
a spurned admirer of Galileo).

Study
Guides

General interest reading groups: soon.

Academic: Anderson hopes to interest scholars in collaborating on the
development of study guides appropriate to an undergraduate audience.

Author's
Blog

We're still looking for the right blog software at the right price,
and will probably not bring this online until the author begins touring
to the U.S., U.K., and Germany in the fall of 2005.
